Having narrowly missed out on a medal in the 50m freestyle when placed 4th, Claire won Bronze in the 200m Individual Medley which featured a GB clean sweep of the medals with Amy Marren winning Gold and Stephanie Millward the Silver. 2 days later Claire returned to the pool to win Silver in the 100m breaststroke before combining with Amy, Stephanie and and Susie Rodgers to win Gold in the freestyle relay later the same day.

The highlight of the Championships for Claire came on the last day of the meet, when she once again teamed up with Amy and Stephanie and this time also with Stephanie Slater to win the Gold in the Individual Medley relay in a new world record time of 4:46:21, knocking over 6 seconds off the previous world best.
